What We Offer

“Tony MacDonnell helped me right after I arrived back home from college, particularly when I was a bit lost and did not know what kind of mission God had planned for me. More specifically, he assisted me in finding my sense of place within the Regnum Christi community in North Virginia. Tony is a very approachable person that is always open to offer his guidance when it comes to discovering, forming, and growing in the personal relationship with God. Additionally, he has provided me with essential tools to grow in the Catholic Faith, such as curated tests to help the process of self-discovery. He is particularly good in finding resources that can provide a new and fresh perspective on issues such as self-doubt, lack of motivation, and vocation discernment. Tony is the ideal person to reach out to for all sorts of counseling advice. I would highly recommend.”

Tony is a compassionate, thoughtful, and innovative leader. Tony has helped me to grow in my faith and learn more about the talents God has given me, so that I can use them for His glory. Tony has been integral in creating a spiritual community at DMU, and I am so grateful for all he does and continues to do! Most of all, Tony’s heart is on fire for God and his witness to Christ inspires me to live my life totally for God.

"I was a missionary in Washington D.C. when I met Tony MacDonnell. Tony made me feel at home with his community and inspired me to realize that you don’t need to be a priest and separated from society to be holy but instead he made me realize we are all called to fulfill our vocation whether that be big decisions or smaller decisions with love for Christ and that is where true Holiness is found. Tony is someone I can come to, to discuss my faith and he listened to me when I needed it. He is an empathetic mentor who knows what to say when people need it."

"As a lay man in the Regnum Christi Movement, my wife and i were called to support and lead the Mission Youth & Family apostolate. Tony, being the founder, has walked with us for the past two years and has been instrumental in my formation as a servant leader. Through his example, reflected by grace and humility, I continue to strive to keep that mission minded attitude that is so integral in our Catholic faith."

"Tony has an exceptional gift for accompaniment, and I experienced this especially as he coached me toward my first Boston-qualifying marathon. Beyond his experience in marathon training, it was his attentive approach to accompaniment that made my journey successful. I’ll never forget when Tony planted the seed and told me after my first race, “I think you can qualify for Boston.” He truly believed in me and helped build my confidence as I began my journey. He always listened carefully, helped me clarify my goals, identified the most meaningful areas for growth, and guided me in crafting a plan that was both challenging and realistic. Whenever I faced setbacks, he created space for honest processing and encouragement, which helped keep me moving forward. I am so grateful for Tony’s faith, dedication, and wisdom as my coach, and I know that his accompaniment for anyone pursuing their life mission will be both fruitful and transformative!"
